What State College Should I Go To?
Ok so I’m a junior in high school, my grades aren’t all that, I’m outgoing, I love outdoor activities, along with the downtown night life. I want to go to a school that is fun party wise and has a good education system with a hopefully beautiful campus. I would love to be near the beach and I live in california so i don’t think that would be hard to find. I have many major choices such as, journalism, political science, dietetics, physical therapy, and hospitality manage. and admin.! If you have any suggestions that would be nice!
My number one priority is the major and second is the party scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually reverse those ^^^^^
What Is A Good College Major For Me If I Want To Pursue A Teaching Career And A Career In Occupational Therapy
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 17, 2010
I want to know what would be a good major for me in college if I want to teach for a little while, but also get two masters degrees in physical and occupational therapy? I have to take many science and a reasonable amount of math courses as prerequisites for my masters degrees. I know that I will have to decide, and I will have to talk to an admissions counselor but in the meantime, can someone help me?
Can You Read And Correct My Essay, Please? It’s For A College Application?
*Instruction: WRITE A 500 WORD ESSAY OUTLINING YOUR EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER GOALS AND THE REASONS FOR YOUR CHOICE OF THE DEGREE PROGRAMME.
ESSAY:
My life-long career goal is to become a physical therapist, someone capable of restoring, maintaining, and promoting overall fitness and health in accident victims and individuals with disabling conditions. Education is the key to my goal. I will attend the University of ****** and be educated. I will make my mind a sponge, soaking up every fact it encounters. In school and out of school, my ears, eyes and heart will be open to learn new things, and gather new facts. I will knit these facts and experiences into a final product: a tapestry of education. While my educational goal is aimed at studying to become a physical therapist, I would also like to express my passion for science (especially biology) and computers. In order to do so, I plan to, first, obtain a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology, and then enter and succeed in a refined physical therapy programme. I may even want to make use of my bachelor’s degree by working in a laboratory before studying towards obtaining a degree in physical therapy. I believe it would be a worthwhile experience and broaden my horizons so that I will not be limited to just one career. Each degree I earn will not only make me eligible for colleges or jobs, but will declare a set of knowledge gained.
I chose biotechnology because it has made a great impact on medicine, the environment, edibles, clothing and agriculture. A biotechnology programme will allow me to utilize the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering computers and information technology.
I have always found it interesting how humans have expanded their understanding of the biosphere by journeying into space and exploring the depths of the ocean, and not only have they been able to look at the surrounding universe and the depths below with the advancement of tools and techniques, but they also have been able to live there. Also, I have always found it interesting how beneficial microorganisms – which we cannot see with the naked eye – are, from controlling or curing certain diseases to producing foods and other products. These interests of mine are due to the application of biotechnology.
I chose physical therapy because it is through that programme, I can be in a profession where I will not have to sit at the desk all day, and have the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I like the fact that physical therapists get to interact with their patients one-on-one, helping them stretch and do a variety of therapy exercises, teaching them how to walk and use their bodies again, coping with a chronic disease such as multiple sclerosis, and reducing pain.
Jobs are available to physical therapists in a variety of health-care settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, home health care and private practices. Physical therapists are in demand as people are getting older and physical disabilities are increasing. Physical therapists earn a good salary. This will make it easy for me to get a job that pays well by the time I complete my studies.
Serious College Athlete Been Out For A Year With Groin Pain, Just Want Answers!?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on February 12, 2010
My name is Taylor and im a college soccer player and i’ve been hurt with a groin problem since November 4th 2007. Recently ive been assigned by a doctor to go to physical therapy about a groin issue which no doctor can really find, ive been through 2 mri’s, ct, and xray. But with all exams negative and me sitting out of soccer for over a year i’ve researched over and over on the internet and ive done some self evaluating and seemed to locate the pain in my left adductor with pain in left testicle and left lower adomenal/scrotum. The pain all started when i was running hills and overexerted myself and ended up vomiting. The next day i had significant pain and could hardly sleep at nights cause of the dull aching pain.No doctor or surgeon seems to really listen to me really about what i have to say which is understandable after the extensive years of school they’ve been through. Once the injury happened i went to my school clinic and they immediately labeled me as having a sports hernia and sent me to surgeon and such, surgeons would just do the cough method on me and say i just have a strained groin and give it time. I believed them and gave it time and after about 7 straight months of resting just a “strained abdomimen” and still feeling the same pain while coughing, and sudden movements actually probably even worse since my groin seemed to be tighter because i hadn’t exercised, (besides the bike or olypitcal at low speed to stay in somewhat decent shape.)I decided to just start exercising running playing soccer every now and then, and i could feel my groin, the pain was there but once it got loose it felt okay but mid way through it’d start to get bad, especially after and was sensitive and sore for a couple days, but since the numberous doctors and surgeons turned my away i didn’t have much to lose. I eventually stopped cause i couldn’t take the aching pain,however it still has never went away even when im not exercising for an exenstive period of time.Anyhow i was assigned 4 weeks of therapy 3 days a week and i was told if my groin problem didn’t get any better from physical therapy (which it hasn’t, and im in my last week of therapy) then they are going to perform surgery where they are going to go in and just search for the problem and hope they find it and can fix it supposebly. Im a big sports fan so i’ve known about you from hearing about athletes needing sports hernia surgery. From what i noticed not many doctors believe in a sports hernia so they don’t even really give it any chance. Anyhow i thought i would send you an email and see what you had to say about it, it’s probably hard to make evaluations over the internet so i understand,sorry this is all crammed together and thank you for time, i just am interested in what you think about the situation. Coaches are frustrated with me, all i want to do is play soccer again.Thank you again.

Physical Therapy As A Career And Study In College?
Posted by admin in Careers in PT on January 25, 2010
I’m going to be a junior in high school, and I’ve been thinking about physical therapy as a profession for at least two years already. I haven’t started attending any internships yet because I was unsure about my decision. Now, I realize it’s getting pretty late in the game and I want to know what’s good in physical therapy, seeing as I was/am a “victim” of an injury and have had to attend multiple PT sessions with 3 different PTs. I figured this profession, although the schooling is 6 years (yikes!), would be the best for me, since I can related to my patients because I was once in their shoes.
So, I was wondering, if there were any people out there currently going to school for Physical Therapy or are physical therapists, and how it is? If it’s worth it to pursue and try?
Thank you so much for your time. I know that was a very lengthy question.
Need Advice On Finding A College?
I’m really interested in cosmetology, but my mind is kind of telling me to go with something that will better me in the long run. More along the lines of educational, or medical. I was very interested in athletic trainer/physical therapy. . now i’m thinking about physical education being a PE teacher. But that wouldn’t be fun to me, cosmetology would. I think its more along the lines of what college to pick. I’m thinking more along the lines of boston, or montreal, i want to get away from my woodsy area of maine.
